Duygu is one of the Lodge’s Room Attendants. She and Songul (left) are here for the summer from Turkey practicing their English and enjoying the guests from all over the world. To their delight, they found we use Turkish towels – some of the finest cotton in the world, lots of big white fluffy towels in every room.

Tables are readied for guest breakfast on the deck by Songul. It’s a beautiful summer morning at the Lodge at Moosehead Lake and guests love to eat outside. These young ladies have been able to learn about the Moosehead Lake area. They have taken a white water rafting trip, Moose Safari, Katahdin Cruise, state fair, enjoyed the beach and much more. Both plan to be English teachers in their homeland.

Guests for President’s Day weekend were warmly greeted at breakfast with fresh melons covered with a lime & rum sauce, fresh made cinnamon rolls and this Frittata including Maine potatoes, red onions and feta cheese. Dennis topped it off with fresh made bruschetta. Great breakfast to start their day snowmobiling, dog sledding and ice fishing.

This season, we have changed the Lodge dining schedule. We serve dinner only in the Lakeview Dining Room to our lodging guests and we accept a limited number of reservations from the public. This has allowed us to focus on providing a premium dining experience. The menu is Ala Carte and focuses on Up North Cuisine, casual, warm and comfortable, like the Lodge itself. When weather permits, we also serve on the deck under the stars. Chloe’s Pub is not open to the public but remains available to lodging guests along with the newly constructed fire pit. Around the fire pit, guests can order a “Smores” kit, enjoy an outdoor wood fire and watch the stars dazzle against a black sky.

This is a common question by many guests so we are going to take this blog post to answer it. The lodge became a country inn in 1995. Our goal is to offer discerning travelers the opportunity to surround themselves with authentic North woods décor, cuisine, and a full slate of comforts and amenities. The original owners started down this path and we wanted to bring this back adding some of our own touches as well. We stay in every room throughout the year just to be sure it is comfortable and not missing something. Some of our changes are here:

Lodge guests enjoyed breakfast on the patio overlooking this view this morning. It was in the 70s with bright blue sky. A full breakfast bar featuring fresh fruit, juices, cereal and fresh made banana bread started their meal with a bacon, broccoli and cheese frittata to get them on their way to a fun filled day of moose watching, hiking, rafting and so much more.

At the opening of the Lodge dining room to lodging guests and the public with reservations, we will be featuring our new Blueberry Martini. It is sure to please any Martini lover with blueberry vodka, vanilla vodka and fresh blueberries. Make your dinner reservations now, starting June 18th – every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. 207-695-4400
